INGENIOUS MAlDENS.
A Trio OF Cincinnati Girls Married in
Same Wedding Costume.

A Trio OF Cincinnati Girls Married in the
Same Wedding Costume.
1t is not an uncommon thing for a
young man with a swelling chest and q
collapsed purse to rent claw-hammer
coat for an occasion in which ho wishes
to appear as hailing from palatial
home rather than from six by nine
room next to shingled roof, but the
recent experience of three ingenious
young ladies of this city is out of the
ordinary.
These young ladies are all about the
same age and size, and by a singular
coincidence were all to be married
about the same time. They were all
ambitious to have swell weddings and
stunning outfits, but their purses were
not long enough for both. and to possess
the latter even was financial puzzle
which gave them many a sleepless
night.
Finally they put their heads together
and hit upon plan. They decided to
give up the big wedding, but they would
have the bang up outfit by pooling their
moneys. No l, who was to be married
first, was to make bargain with the
dressmaker to make any alterations de-
sired in the trousseau after the wedding
was over, and the three were to 90 to-
gether to sclectit. The dress was made
up in the very pink of the fashion, with
point lace enough to exhaust the stock
of Worth, and bride No. was married.
The ceremony over, the trousseau was
turned over to No. 2 and she took it to
the dressmaker for alteration according
to contract, and in it she was married,
after which the second refitting was
done and again the brilliant outfit took
its place before the marriage altar
and third bride was the envy of the
few guests present because of the gor.
geous bridal decorations. How was tho

POULTRY ON THE FARM.
Women Better Adapted to the Manas
ment OF Chickens Than Men.

Women Better Adapted to the MANAGE
ment OF Chickens Than Men.
No farm would be completely fur
nished without poultry, and perhaps
there are none without some species of
the feathered tribe; but it is doubtful if
many Of them make poultry pay as well
rs it should, and us well as it can, with
little knowledge of the proper man
agement. This part of the farm depart-
ment is usually left to the management
of the women, and they think that if the
table is furnished and all the surplus is
sold, their duty ends. 1t is true that
agricultural journals have changed this
on many farms, but that there is much
more yet to be learned and put into
practice, is evident from the fact that
our country imports millions of dollars
worth of eggs alone.
There are many women who would
be benefited by more outdoor employ
ment, and they are better adapted to
the management of the poultry than
the men are, if they will only properly
inform themselves upon the subject.
Many women, however, would have
serious obstacles in the way. because
of lack of suitable buildings and en-
closures. l say serious obstacles, be-
cause some men can not be convinced
that chickens need any protection more
than that afforded by the warmest limb
of an apple tree. 1t will be useless to
fry to make poultry nav without
needed conveniences, and unless one
can have them it will be useless to un-
dertake it.
Poultry droppings alone will pay
for all the feed the poultry consume, if
properly cared for, in the returns it
will bring from worn-out land, or the
quantity and quality of fruit when APP
piled to the orchards. - Cor. Ohio

THE MuLr,cYcLE.
Few wheeled Machine for the Trans-
portation OF infantry.


portation Of Infantry.
People in many London thoroughfares
must have been considerably astonished
of late by the appearance Of strange
looking vehicle speeding swiftly along,
propelled by ten riders. who sat all in q
row, like the crew Of an elongated uni-
versity rowing-boat. This novelty in
means of locomotion was on its way to
Aldershot, where, by authority of the
War Office, 1t will be tested with a
view to its adoption for military opera
tions. 1t is the latest adaptation Of
four-in-hand quadricycle and it is in-
tended for the rapid transport of in.
fantry from one point to another.
When fully manned It carries twelve
men. who can take with them, II
ordered, q light baggage cart or am-
munition wagon. The advantages Of
mounting men thus in single file instead
of two or four abreast are, first of all,
that the machine is more manageable,
and second that power for it presents
less surface to strong head wind, one
of the obstacles most difficult for cyclists
to overcome. The speed that can be
got out of such machine by ten OF
twelve moderate riders is quite surpris-
ing. Ten miles an hour would be con-
sidered a low average rate, and sixteen
have been easily accomplished. 1t is
said to be affected less than any other
velocipede by any roughness in the
thoroughfares, and it passes over newly
metalled bits of road with comparative
ease. All the tires are wired on the
Otto principle, so that they can not be
greatly damaged by cuts from sharp
stones.
For men mounted thus there is, ol
course, considerable saving in labor,
and probably other advantages might
be claimed from military point OF
view. These are, however points that
will be fully tested at Aldershot. Re-
Gently a machine manned by ten riders,
who did not take their baggage van
with them, set out for Messrs. Singers
warehouse on Holbern viaduct at one
o'clock. when the currents of traffic
were running strong in opposite direc.
tions. The whole control and steering
of the machine is in the hands of one
man, and he had no apparent difficulty
in managing it, even where the thor.
oughfare was most densely crowded
1t turned easily enough in less space
than hanson would have needed an6
threaded its way among numberless
vehicles without mishap, though the
drivers of cabs and omnibuses neglected
their own business to gaze at the strange
apparition as it sped past them.
The crew in charge of the multicycle
are all trained volunteers, who will bt
able to execute any military evolution
that may be demanded of them with in
telligence, and altogether the expert
ment is one in which military men take
lively interest. The latest novelty il
velocipedes has not as yet been sub
mitted to the agents of any Continental
power, and will be subjected to it's frs
practical trial for military purposes a

Burmah's Teak Forests.

In obtaining the vast and rich domain
of Burmah the English government has
come into possession, among other
natural treasures, of immense forests OF
teak, which, never very plentiful in
India, was becoming commercially quite
rare, and consequently of increased cost
for industrial purposes. OF all the
woods grown in the East this has been
pronounced rs, in some respects, the
most valuable. The superiority consists
in its being neither too heavy nor too
hard; 1t does not warp nor split under
exposure, no matter how prolonged, to
heat or dampncss; it contains an essen
tial oil which possesses the rare prop
erty of preventing the wood from rot
ting under wet conditions, and, at the
same time, act as preservative to iron.

CAL1FoRNIA raisins are one OF the
latest of our fruit products to enter
Eastern markets in competition with.
the imported article. Four or five
years ago our raisins were hardly
heard of. Last year was the first sea-
son in which they cut much OF
figure, but when they did come to the
front they swept all before them. 1t
was very generally acknowledged that
our pack came fully up to the best
quality of the Malaga fruit. Each
season our packers are learning more,
and they take the greatest pains in all
respects to learn some new wrinkle in
curing or packing their crops. The
pack Of the present season is just
reaching the Eastern markets, and
the most glowing reports come back
~ TO the impression the fruit is maxi
ing upon the dealers. Press and
merchants in the Eastern cities all
agree that Spanish raisins have no
advantage in any respect over those
arriving from California. 1t is
conceded that the probability is
extreme that our pack will
beat the imported clean out of the
markets. 1t is no trouble for us to
send half q million boxes of raisins
ACROSS the mountains, if there is de-
mand for that quantity, and we can
increase that in very short time to
twice the pack. The raisin packers
of South California-all our raisins
are packed in the Southern counties,
embracing Fresno county in thai
catagory-have taught those engaged
in all our productive industries an inn
portant lesson. BY carefulness and
intelligence, they have impressed up
on the country the fact that young as
we are in absolute years, we can enter
the marts of the world against all the
experience of Europe, and beat them
out of the field. With the same care
and Intelligence there is no shadow of
reason why California should not sup
ply the entire country with all sorts
of fruits. To raisins we can add
dried figs, olives and nuts. 1t is
needless to name the ordinary decid-
uops fruits, dried, canned crystallized
or in a natural state. In these lines
the merits of our orchard crops are
well known. Candied and crystal
iyzed fruits, jams, jellies and such
like sweetmeats can be expanded in
definitely in this section. Setbacks
may be experienced in the develop
ment Of these industries; but if thos g
engaged in such enterprises will imi-
Ia te the raisin packers, there are as
wide a field and as brilliant a
future before the wine production OF
the State, the brandy output, aud
scores of other such commodities, as
are now found for the raisin crop.
